Results: Total number of patients delivered during this period were 6290 and out of which 94 patients were diagnosed with placenta previa, so the incidence is 1.5%. Of women with placenta previa, 3.44%(n=4) had placenta accreta. Incidence of placenta previa was the highest in the maternal age group 20-30 years i.e. 72.9%, Perinatal morbidity was studied as the percentage of babies requiring resuscitation and NICU admission which was 37.35 %(n=36).
